III.
What effects, if any, would annexation of this territory have on the existing level of city/diatnct servmes (i.e., need
for additional emergency semce personnel or construction of new facilities, ete)? The annexation of this terntory
will have some effect on the near term level or capability of the City to provide needed sermecs. The terNtory
consists of a well-established completely developed County area. Additional police officers will very likely be
requi~cl to maintain the current level of city service. Annexation of the county st, feets and sewer system within
the temto~ will increase the future maintenance responsibility of the City but should not affect the existing level
of service.
IV.
Would city/district require any upgrading or change in facilities to serve affected territory (roads, fu'e hydrants,
mares, etc.): If so, would city/district or residents be responsible for financing? No. ffany additional development
occurs. the developer provides and pays for major facilities and dedicates them to the City, No up~ading or change
in facilities will be required in the territory for annexation.

(Recreation). as shown on attached Map on Page 5.
List city/district services that area will dkectly or indirecdy benefit from such as decrease m fire insurance rate,
shorter emergency response time, use of community facilities, etc. City Police should be able to respond in a more
tunely manner than present County Sheriff services. The present City refuse collection rate is substsntially lower
than fees county residents now pay to independent companies. No special assessment or charges for street
sweeping. leaf collection, street lighting energy costs and fire hydrants upon development of subject area. City
